Edwards impresses Panthers teammate with catch

CHARLOTTE — Armanti Edwards made what teammate Brandon LaFell called the best catch of training camp Saturday during Carolina Panthers’ annual FanFest at Bank of America Stadium.

The over-the-shoulder grab of a Cam Newton pass was made in between two defenders in the left corner of the end zone and was good for a 31-yard touchdown in the live scrimmage portion of the event, which was held in front of an estimated crowd of 20,134.

Afterward, Coach Ron Rivera heaped praise on Edwards, the former quarterback from Appalachian State who is entering his fourth season of trying to make it as a wide receiver in the NFL.

Rivera said while no one is guaranteed a spot on the roster, Edwards has earned the right to be on the team in 2013.
